In this episode, Cherise is joined by Diana Kellogg, Architect at Diana Kellogg Architects based in New York City. They discuss the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girl's School in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Originally designed to be a multi-structure campus, the Rajkumari Ratnavati School serves hundreds of girls below the poverty line, equipping them with tools for education and independence.
Constructed with hand-cut local sandstone in the shape of an oval, the building’s form reflects the curvilinear shapes of the local forts, as well as symbols of female strength.
